The latest medical news based on very recent
research results are clear: high alcohol consumption
increases the chances of developing breast cancer in
women. The causal relationship is direct and thus the
tests which were carried out on heterogeneous samples of women of
various age groups prove it.

Until recently, the consumption of a maximum of seven to
fourteen units of alcohol per week for women was
recommended. This amount would still keep healthy in the case of
men although it multiplies by three. However, the recommendations
today are much more restrictive and the healthy amounts
get reduced to less than seven units for women per week and a
maximum of fourteen for men.

The best reasons to drink a bit less

I think it is important to look at these tips and do not
abuse alcohol. This will help to prevent breast
cancer but also has many other advantages that I list
below:

Enjoy better health in general: because as we
cannot drink as much wine will have to enjoy its benefits by
eating it as grapes. We have no choice but the positive side of
it is that eating fruit is very healthy and has many
advantages, as you can imagine.

Lose some extra weight: as you know, alcohol
add some kilos on us (it is said that a glass of wine is the
equivalent to three pieces of pastries ... ).

Increase our savings: because we will stop
spending all our money on mojitos, gin, wine and others.

Start enjoying a lot better quality winesthan we did before: in our past line of
everyday consumer we could not afford certain brands but now,
as we will drink much less, we can give us a treat more often.

We still have to find out some things like: is an
alcoholic unit the same as a glass? How much can you
fill? Is it half full or half empty? Should we pour a little
more? And when we get all these answers, then we can afford to
make some exceptions for birthdays, anniversaries and other
special dates.

On holidays and weekends, as practicing voluntary abstinence will
be more complicated than any other time, we will have to
use that blessed moment when we enjoyed sipping a shot of port
wine, a gin & tonic or a glass of sherry to search the
internet (what better source of wisdom and knowledge) to
buy wine, the most
expensive ones, the most exclusive ones, the most chic ones,
those that Parker drinks in his spare time, etc. in
order to make our wish list and give us that whim that we will
dose in maximum seven units a week. That means that once we open
a bottle it could even last two weeks...

Come on, we can do it! Think of the benefits and
be aware that it is better quality than quantity, on every field.
It is our time to taste all these wines and spirits that had always
flown our mind traveling a tad above our pocket. It's time to
catch them and open them. Cheers!
